Views from the lounge stretch across the Coniston and Langdale fells and the room enjoys year round sunsets.
Local occupancy conditions apply, making this a valuable opportunity for those with established ties to the area.
Location: Situated on the outskirts of Windermere, the apartment provides quick access to both Windermere and Bowness while remaining tucked away from the main routes.
From the village centre, head towards Bowness and turn left onto Ellerthwaite Road before the Windermere Park Hotel.
At the T junction, turn right onto Park Road, then take the immediate left onto Limethwaite Road. School Knott Drive is the fourth right.
Parking is on the second right hand turn with Number 11 positioned directly ahead and approached from the rear of the building.
Property Overview: Number 11 has been modernised throughout and benefits from its own private garden and outdoor store.
The self contained entrance gives direct access from the garden into the entrance hall which provides generous built in storage. Stairs lead to the main accommodation on the first floor.
The lounge is bright and welcoming with elevated views across the Coniston and Langdale ranges.

A dedicated laundry cupboard with plumbing for both washing and drying machines adds practicality and ensures the space remains low maintenance. There are two well sized double bedrooms.

The bathroom is notably spacious for an apartment of this type and includes a white three piece suite with bath and shower over, vanity storage and a clean modern finish.
Storage is a key advantage of this property.
The central hallway offers three large cupboards, one housing the boiler, and there is access to a boarded loft space with an integrated step ladder, giving practical additional storage that is exceptionally easy for an apartment.
